In July 2022 the NDIA introduced some changes to the way that plan reviews work. With these changes in place, there is also some new language and terminology to help to prevent confusion especially about different kinds of “reviews”.
The table below provides an easy comparison of what has changed when it comes to plan reviews and what it means for you.

If your child is under 6 and is diagnosed with developmental delay they may be eligible for the NDIS under the early intervention requirements. The term “developmental delay” is used by the NDIS and in early childhood education to describe when children have some delays in development for their age.
Piper and Jessie were introduced by InFocus Support Coordinator Mini. They each had individual NDIS goals to live more independently. Mini thought that the girls would be a good match as they had similar backgrounds, are close in age and were both seeking independence and companionship.
